Trocadéro was a large French warship of the Océan class, built in the 1810s for the Navy. It was ordered in 1813 as Formidable, laid down at Toulon, renamed Trocadéro in 1823, and launched on 14 April 1824. It was completed later that year but never went into active service.
On 24 March 1836, while being refitted at Toulon, Trocadéro was accidentally set on fire and destroyed.
